Yamantaka // Sonic Titan
We are thrilled to be hosting Toronto-based Noh-Wave prog collective Yamantaka // Sonic Titan. Their latest release, Dirt (Paper Bag Records, 2018), is the soundtrack to an unreleased Haudenosaunee and Buddhist anime from 1987. It combines Iroquois creation myth, Buddhist principles and classic sci-fi themes to explore the tragic nature of humanity. Their live show is a sensory overload making ample use of makeup, costumes and, of course, sound to bring audiences into their world.

Eliza Kavtion
Eliza Kavtion is a Mohawk experimental guitarist. Layering samples over her virtuosic guitar playing, she uses her music to explore issues related to indigenous sovereignty and resistance. A true devotee of the shred — her riffing is as radical as her politics. Drummer John Milchem rounds out the lineup, providing pulsing, organic beats.

BBBy (DJ set)
BBBy aka 100% Broke is one of the fiercest DJs Montreal has to offer. Of Haitian descent, this queer virtuoso is on the cutting-edge of club music and hosts a myriad of inclusive events that enrich the Montreal music scene.
